And since the holiday season is pretty much upon us, we’re back with another installment of our annual Holiday Gift Guide. For today, I’m celebrating a handful of books that I have either had the chance to check out this year and fell in love with, or several titles that I’m confident genre fans will love that I just haven’t had a chance to check out yet for myself.
To make things easier, I’ve sorted the books into two categories: non-ficton and fiction. And also, just so everything is on the up-and-up, I want to mention that I did include my own latest book in today’s edition of the Hgg just because the artists featured in this second volume of Monsters, Makeup...

“Digital effects and animatronics are completely different,” says three-time Underworld producer Richard Wright on the set of Rise Of The Lycans, stating the obvious before continuing, “But sometimes they’re kind of melded together. In this film, we have basically three types of effects.
“We have the on-set gags like wirework—and there is a ton of that—as well as animatronics and special makeup,” Wright continues. “The director, Patrick Tatopoulos, has an effects company and started in the business doing makeup and animatronics, so there is a natural confluence.
